Rovaniemi take on the visitors Honka at “Keskuskentta” in the Finland’s Veikkausliiga. The game will be played in Rovaniemi on Thursday, May 3rd.
Rovaniemi have already become a sensation as the club is currently taking in the lead in the standings of Finnish elite division with 16 points gained. The side collected five triumphs and a draw with nine goals for and not a single goal against in six encounters conducted in this season. The team shows decent football, having no star players in the squad and proves that patience, hard work and discipline are the key factors in football. Frankly speaking, Rovaniemi are a typical mid-table club of the elite division which occupied in the previous season the seventh place in the table formed by 12 participants. I don’t believe that the side will manage to go through all the season on such a good pace. However, I also doubt that their fairy tale come to an end in the forthcoming battle against the obvious outsider as in opening rounds the team has not fail against tough opponents some of which had finished last season sitting much higher in the standings. Less than 2.5 goals were combined in five out of six battles played by Rovaniemi in this season.

Speaking about the visitors, it should be mentioned that last season Honka occupied the second place in the Finland’s Ykkonen, having deserved a pass to the elite division. The team has earned only three draws and single defeat with three goals for and five goals against in four clashes conducted in this season. As a result, the club is predictably settling on the current pre-last position in Veikkausliiga table. Three out of four games with Honka’s participation ended with under 2.5 scored goals.
Last time the teams met in 2014 before Honka’s relegation to Ykkonen, therefore, it is no reason to remind those results. As for the opponents’ statistics in this season, both of them regularly won, moreover, less than 2.5 goals were combined in those tackles.
Prediction for the match: Rovaniemi to win with +0.5 Asian handicap (1X). Under 2.5 scored goals.
